Grew up on the Lower East Side. Got educated, my daughter grew up to be a teacher, married & they left for Florida. I Got out years ago & returned home to mi Borinquen 30 years ago. Aqui me quedo hasta que llegue el final. NY was just a vehicle to move up & out. Love the peace & family life on the island, love my people everywhere but Puerto Rico es mi hogar.
I’m Puerto Rican live in Brooklyn and can’t wait to retire to get the hell out of this nasty disgusting city I’m sorry it wasn’t like this 15 years ago
@@user-ru7rf9ix1z It has been since the illegal drug mules have invaded the island and NY, the worst criminals, according to JD Vance, since they poison youngsters with drugs.
THEY DISTROYED NEW YORK CITY MORE WITH ALL THESE ILLEGALS TRASHING AND INVADING OUR COUNTRY. 😡 OUR COUNTRY LOOKS MORE LIKE A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY ANYMORE. THANK GOD FOR DONALD TRUMP FOR MASSIVE DEPORTATION AND FINALLY CLOSING OUR BORDERS COMPLETELY 🇵🇷 🇺🇸
A major reason why PR’s moved out also is because many 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation PR’s became professionals and purchased their first houses out of the city. That’s what I did and I meet other PR’s in church gatherings, community functions around the upstate area, who had also purchased their first houses.
That's America, The Irish left, The Italians left, Jews left, African Americans are leaving. And now the Puerto Ricans are leaving. Everyone starts in New York and then you leave.
I'm a 68 y/o NYC PR Man born in Manhattan, then raised in Brooklyn (Brownsville and then East NY). I left NYC to join the US NAVY in 76'.... Only been back to visit my family during the late 70'/80's... my last time there was 07/2014. And I saw a lot of changes visiting Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens. All of my Old friends and their families have moved to either Florida and /or Pennsylvanian Except (1) lady friend who move to Long Island after retiring from NYPD... I don't have a real reason to go back.... But I do check in with what's going on the city.... Still Love my beloved NYC ♥ and my Yankees.... 💪 Happy Holidays and a Peaceful New Years to all....🙏
Most newcomer Puertricans move to Florida .And old time N.E. Puertricans also retire and move to Florida. Florida is closer to Puerto Rico;and its weather is more similar to Puerto Rico's weather .
@@jwill9237 Yes, advanced socially, economically. There are Puerto Rican members of Congress and a Supreme Court Justice. There's a lot of work to be done. But Puerto Ricans like other groups leave NY because they CAN! BTW...I'm not Puerto Rican. I'm Dominican!
@@carlosacta8726 no sir everyone is leaving nyc because of its poor leadership that has led to crime, influx in illegal immigrants, and they can no longer afford to live there. Stop the gaslight and call it what it is BTW I'm rican
To expand a little on what @carlosacta8726 said: The Ley de la Mordaza, also known as Law 53 of 1948. Police could plant a 🇵🇷 stamp-yes, a stamp-in someone's house or car, and by 'discovering' it, the Boricua (from Borikén, the indigenous/True name of the island; b4 Spain called it a rich port but with capitalized letters) would (more often would than could) be sent to jail for 10-years minimum.
NYC is FUCKING expensive to live. In Chicago many Puerto Rican’s marry Mexican Americans or they moved to the suburbs. Many historic areas that were used to be Rican neighborhoods of Chicago are gentrified. In Chicago Mexicans and Puerto Rican’s moved up shared experiences and cultural heritage. In Chicago it’s common to know, marry, or be related to Latinos that are both Puerto Rican and Mexican. In fact Puerto Rican cuisine has been integrated into Mexican cuisine. It’s a beautiful blend of culture, music, heritage, history we share
I'm Puerto Rican born & raised, but my mom is Mexican and she married my Puerto Rican dad in Chicago. 2 of my dad's siblings also married Mexican women, so 3 Puerto Rican brothers married Mexican women. We have a lot of Mexican & mixed cousins in our family. They all married in Chicago in like the 1970s. I also have more Puerto Rican family who married Mexicans in Chicago. Like it's amazing how much PRs and MXs mix in Chicago. It seems like Puerto Ricans & Mexicans get a long better than anywhere in Chicago. I love that.
I’m Mexican and grew up in the Chicagoland area and Puerto Ricans and Mexicans in Chicago are like two peas in a pod 🫛 no doubt! My padrinos for first communion were Puerto Rican lol.. 🇲🇽 🇵🇷 💪
Crime and delinquency brought to the East of the USA and the whole nation by illegal drug mules, and to inept administrations who do not deport the plague r according to the DEA d.
I'm Puerto Rican born in Brooklyn raised in New York City till I was 28 , I only new high rent and moved around frequently until I moved to Florida where I purchased My first home where I lived for 13 years raising my children and then buying a much bigger house afterwards my children have known only stability and the comforts of having their own home. This is why Puerto Ricans or anyone else for that matter moves for better opportunities
I noticed a migration of 'Ricans leaving NYC beginning in the mid to late 1990s. Two locations were constant. Orlando, FL and Allentown, PA. By the year 2000 you could "feel" the local shift in the spanish speaking nationalities on a visible level as more and more Dominicans, Mexicans, South & Central Americans became the face of spanish-speaking NYC. The Puerto Rican presence is still felt but has obviously changed from one generation to a brand new one who are inserting their own contemporary "vibe" and cultural preferences.
When the PRs migrated to my city they brought drugs, dope addicts and boosted the crime rates. Peoples cars and homes were getting broken into. Outdoor furniture was getting stolen out of backyards. Then it started getting reclaimed in the mid to late 90s. Good ol’ gentrification. Then the real estate boom.
I grew up in Brooklyn and the Bronx in the 80s and 90s before leaving NYC for Tampa, FL in the early 2000s. After Covid Florida got crazy expensive. I still have a lot of family in NY, FL and PA
I am 3rd generation Nuyorican and i still live in NYC. My grandmother came to NYC in 1947. I have definitely noticed the decline in our numbers from my childhood until now. There were more restaurants and enclaves around when I was young. A few of my relatives have left the city and the state but most of my extended family is still here. Things always change over time, but studies have shown that though we were here in large numbers NYC life for the Puerto Rican diaspora has always been fraught with obstacles and challenges, and Puerto Ricans do better as a group when we live in other places. I myself love NYC. I have lived in other places but NYC will always be my home.
@ First generation are the first people immigrate or migrate, second generation are the first born in the new location, third generation are their children and so on. My grandmother was the first to arrive. My mother was the first born. So I am third generation.
😊 I'm 65 n grew up in NYC when it was loaded with 🇵🇷. Several.years back they sold their grocery stores, their gypsy cabs, cuchifritos to 'others' n were gone. The last year or so, I've seen a slow comeback. Anytime I'm out n hear the accent, I get excited. Im like, they're coming back!
Born in Manhattan, lived in Rl Barrio until my dad was killed when I was 6. A year later, we moved to Kew Gardens, a Jewish neighborhood where I was raised. At 25, I bought my first house in Richmond Hill. By the early 90s I saw the city deteriorate. So I took my wife and two young kids and left to the outskirts of Orlando. I loved it. Kids left their bikes and skates outside. Doors were unlocked. Cars were left with the keys in the ignition. You’d pump your gas and then pay the clerk. Nobody honked their horns. You even paid your groceries with personal checks. I decorated my house every season and I could take my car anywhere and never worry about parking space or traffic. I really thought I had died and gone to heaven. For certain, I’d retire and live here the rest of my life. Then in beginning in the late 2000’s and beyond, you saw the Newyorkification of Orlando. Gone was the southern hospitality and the innocence of a city. By 2020, the population had exploded and Orlando became New York South. It’s 2024, and I will retire in 2 yrs, but remaining here is out of the question. Orlando is no longer Disney World coming to life. It’s the brutal reality of overcrowded population in a much smaller place than NYC. My next stop? Kentucky? The Carolinas? Maybe living abroad where I can find that peace I once had as a kid in the Big Apple.
Soy Boricua y mis padres me trajeron pa Búfalo, New York en 1987. Llevo 30 anos viviendo aqui. Conoci a mi esposa aqui en Buffalo New York. Ella es Boricua también. Tenemos una casa y 3 gatos. Los dos trabajamos y nos va bien gracias a Dios. Aqui fue que aprendi ingles de verdad y no como te enseñan en PR. Cuando estas espuesto al lenguage lo aprendes rápido. Nunca pense que iba ser existoso en los Estados Unidos. Cograts coqui por tu canal.
Why did you decide to make this comment in Spanish instead of English if you are fully bilingual? I'm not trying to get into an argument; I'm just curious.
@@JuanGonzalez-hv6vs más notable sería si te hubieras salido existoso en PR. Ser existoso en eeuu es otro lunes.

I lived in New York City from 1959 to 1988 now I live in central New England, at first I wouldn't say I liked living in Massachusetts, but with time I got used to living here, but I still most NYC.
Us Puerto Ricans have really spread out all over this country. Humbling the ways we evolve and and the many factors that contribute to it! Great Video!
Old news, As a person who frequently visited NewYork city since the late 80’s I started to notice Puerto Ricans leaving NewYork city back in the late 90’s & in big numbers…..Harlem doesn’t look the same as it did in the 70’s , 80’s & early 90’s when Spanish Harlem was pretty much Puerto Ricans.
Loriain Ohio has about 10,000 Puerto Ricans, In 1946, 100 workers were brought there to supplement the steel industries. They grew from that original 100 and they now make up around 15% or so of the population there.
It's true. I am Puerto Rican living in Ohio in Stow, Ohio just southeast of Cleveland metro area. The Westside Cleveland ,Lorain, Ashtabula have a significant Puerto Rican population.
Yes it is for the majority of the state. Although a lot of Puerto Ricans live all over the country but most significant in Connecticut, New Jersey, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin,Texas, Pennsylvania and even Virginia outside of New York and Florida
@@Myguyver There’s a large group in Kissimmee, Clermont, & West Central Florida who came down (teachers, ex-NYPD, etc.,) & bought in the 1990’s & during the Great Recession. ENTIRE families moved together and continue to benefit from the no or low taxes.
Nydia Velasquez, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ritchie Torres are 3 congress representatives from NYC, that's still big, considering our decline in population. 🙏🏽🇵🇷
Unfortunately for what ever the reason, we as a voice are not heard our votes are taken for granted. And those that get elected as you mentioned are not effective.
@juancastro5422 you're right, the old guard always was muscling & pushing for our rights paving the way as people, once those gone, the new generation has gotten laid back, entertained and uninterested, sadly.🙏🏽🇵🇷💪🏽
When I first visited New York in the 70s, I did not see any other latinos, but Puerto Ricans. It was not until the early 90s that I started noticing other latinos...By the way, this video is very good, but too short!🤣
I recently visited...my hometown after 20 plus years. In NJ, most homeowners were PRicans...we kicked out the Italians🤫🤭 Today place (faces) are sooooo different! Mexicans!!! We only saw them on TV😮 not in our city. Dominicans who at first thought were Blacks by the way they spoke and dressed...until KLK came out their mouth😮😂 luckily there are 3 schools named after Puerto Ricans.
I was born in San Juan PR and moved to Orlando when I was two years old. After being raised in Orlando for 35 years I finally returned to live in PR. I love it here
My parents came to NY 1949 to work with 6 kids nit to ask to live in a 5star hotel and free everything. They worked and I the oldest took care of my siblings when my parents worked. We lived in one room. We were blessed.
I’m Puerto Rican I came over in 1978 I was 10 years old we settled in Holyoke Massachusetts we had a low Puerto Rican population now in 2024 we’re all over the place and even have a Puerto Rican mayor and we’re still expanding to neighboring towns and cities proud to be part of it 💯🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
@AngelDiaz-i8q - Yes. I visited a couple about 3 years ago. I attended Kelly Elementary, John J Lynch and the other Jr High(Peck??), and 2 1/2 years of High School. Many of my childhood friends still live there.
Born in NYC 1960. Enjoy the heck out of the 70's and early 80s. By 1988 I was sick of the gentrification ( Manhattan only at that point). I left the city for PR in 88', and return to US in 93' where I raised my boys. Now 64, I've lived in Clearwater for the past 13 years. Extremely proud of my NewYorican upbringing, and my Boricua heritage, but frankly I don't miss NYC and PR as they are no longer the city if my youth and the culture I grew up in.
Once integrated into the USA ways of life, Puerto Ricans just moved on. Additionally, NYC has changed so much and not for the a good life... Therefore since about 40 years ago everyone moved to Westchester County or Rockland County and on...
Many move and become more assimilated as the generations pass and feel more American...I've seen the comments some have made on social media...so many don't even speak even a little spanish...hope no matter where there're moving in the U.S they always remember who they are and where they come from...
Totalmente de acuerdo hermano, no hay nada de mal estar familiarizado con la cultura del Estado Unidos; pero a la misma vez, no debemos de perder nuestros raíces o Cultura y completamente asimilar y perder nuestra identidad Boricua. 💯👍🏾👍🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
My family was that 1950's migration to the northeast. The reason for New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Puerto Rican population has decrease, In the more recent years, it isn't about looking for better life really. It's more about family's progressing every new generation. There's fathers and mothers who became police officers. Had kids grow up to become federal agents. Parents who work for the local utility companies. Had their children becoming Engineers. And etc. The limitations of the earlier generations no longer exist. Also those North East's factory jobs of 1940's to 1980's are long gone.
Well, that’s simple is because we realize how cold it was. Well, that’s my reason. I find Florida much more a better contrast with a warm climate. But at the same time it blends in with the states. You can say I have half-and-half here.
I've been raised in the Bronx NY almost all my life as 1st generation Boricua & returned back after living in other places for many years and realized back in 2018 - 2019 that it doesn't match my core values in terms of a place to raise a family so I left within 6 months. Above it all, I am blessed to have lived close to Yankee Stadium and enjoyed the precious long term friendships that I made out there. 🇵🇷
I agree, Many Puerto Ricans from the 3rd generation and up are tired of NYC due to high crime, high rent and high cost of living and the salaries are stagnant.
Now Puerto Rican is the 2nd largest Hispanics in the United States after the the Mexican and also many Puerto Rican move from New York City to Upstate New York.
Puerto Ricans are the second largest Hispanic group. That won't change but Dominicans are not as large they just concentrate in NYC. Born in NYC and yes I want to leave. NYC is not what it used to be it's been destroyed but the Democrats who sold out our city. But wherever Puerto Ricans go we put the Seasoning.
@@MartinGonzalez-j8j Mexicans are the largest Latino population as whole in the country, then Puerto Ricans. Dominicans are concentrated in NYC and the eastern states. No where near as big as Mexican and PR population
Dominican population will decline like wise...many are there illegally, with Trump bye bye! Rents cost is also another factor...they also are now buying in DR...
NYC🇵🇷🗽 Big Pun and Fat Joe said it first! We always new we make it! Many PRicans have moved on up! out of city. Just like many Italians have also left N.Y. It hits hard to hear😢 new generation of PRicans having no ties to NYC. Dominicans are like our shadows😂 everywhere there is Ricans they pop up!😂
You're correct! Here in NYC Dominicans took over the Upper West Side and the Bronx. They are marrying Puerto Ricans. You really don't see many full Puerto Ricans anymore. They are mixing with Dominicans and their offspring claim to be Dominicans, especially if they look like Caucasians. It becomes a racial thing!
I'm a Nuyorican from the south bronx in the 70's joined the Army retired now living in the Philippines because the USA is too expensive to live with my mere pension, still once every 2 years i go back to NYC and visit and wolf down New York City food, pizza, knish, nathins hot dogs and P.R. food.
@@miriamgirona6514 500k PuertoRicans in PA. It was in all the news when the comedian made the joke /comment about an Island of trash called Puerto Rico. PA was put in the spotlight because it the 500k PuertoRicans in the State could’ve decided the outcome of the election in that swing state. (At that time polls had the election as a close contest).
I'm a newyorican but since 2019 been living in Manati, PR but unfortunately I'm going back to NY by next summer. Hospital's here are not good and lack doctors and specialist. My husband is ill and needs better health care. Houses here are difficult to buy due to heritage law so we rent. It really looks bad here in all cases cuz no one enforces the law. Stop signs n red lights are not obeyed so you take a risk everytime you leave your home. Crime is higher in just 5 years here than 53 living in NY. Gotta get out. 😢
Born in Newark NJ raised in Manatí caserio Villa Evangelina . I visit there every other year love Manatí but I can’t get over how many abandoned homes the Pueblo back in the 80 was very nice and always crowded it’s all gone . I
@@Carmenlqm I also lived at Francisco Alvarez en el Pueblo for a couple years .

I still love the beaches and the bacalaitos that been there for years .
@thethrill2877 exactly. It's all run down. No one cares anymore. There's no police or authority here. In my block alone there's like 10 abandoned homes and no one could buy then cuz of that stupid law of heritage. You have to search for every family member to sign off the house. It's a mess. I'm glad I'm going back home to NY
Love my beloved NYC ♥️ just no other way to describe it the best city in the world the sounds the people the food the culture it's a magical place to live and visit the fashions the music just a awesome place like no other in the world
I think it's most likely due to the rising cost of living in New york city coupled with the fact that many former Puerto rican areas of new york are being heavily and quickly gentrified by outsiders and developers. This combination is the main reason. There are more reasons im sure.
You got it there’s not much Puerto Ricans in Brooklyn now it’s other Latinos taking over . Well they can have the old dirty run down expensive apartments because we been there and done that . Time for something better
Yes it true Puerto Ricans are no longer the largest group, but nyc will always be Puerto Ricans second home. We paved the path for all other Latinos groups. We fought for our community, our ppl, our island. It’s our names on streets signs, it’s our flag waving in the fire escapes. Our music turn the city upside down, it’s the path we laid why Dominicans and others came and followed suit. Though we may never again have Un verano en Nueva York como lo decía el gran combo, todo boricua y todo neoyorquino sabe que nyc es y siempre será de PR. Y venga quien venga ningunos podrá traer ese aire de salsa, cuchifritos, dominos, esa alegría que llenaba el ambiente. Puerto Rico y los puertorriqueños somos flama, lo demás es parking.
Packed an left after the first waves of domis and venecos. In NC now, small and beautiful boricua community. We keep a low profile so we don’t them. People love us here, men and women lmao is crazy. 🇵🇷✨🤌🏾
I lived mostly all my life in the Bronx, moved to jersey and then for the past seven years I’ve lived in South Carolina. Miss my Ricans a bunch, New York has changed so much, not that many Ricans anymore, miss the good old days when we where the majority 😢
@@coquireport im still here in the bronx . its not the same feel . there are no more bodegas . accept a couple in Spanish Harlem .we have a beach called orcherd beach . only the old school people go there . times have changed . a lot of the originals left to other states. a lot of my black brothers have left also . . we still here but I ride around my city on a 3 wheel . from what I see . Dominicans have taken over officially lol . love my Dominicans though .
A similar phenomenon is happening with the Dominicans from (D.R) and Dominican-American communities, many are moving to Pennsylvania or Florida, not to the extent that Puerto Ricans do, but it is becoming more common. Even I myself am thinking of moving to Florida or Pennsylvania where there is more peace and quiet and everything is more cheaper.
It’s also more chill for Latin Americans in general. Miami, for example, is mainly Cuban, but there’s all other Hispanics (except not many Mexicans), so I’ve seen an influx of Dominicans which makes sense given the Latino Caribbean cultural elements down here.
Definitely PA I live 20 minutes from philly in the suburbs out of nowhere alot domincans started moving here, back then it mostly mexicans and Central Americans
Other latinos like Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans, and Central Americans, are finding more and new opportunities in other parts of the US like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia (mainly Atlanta area), and Ohio. Most Puerto Ricans are moving to Orlando, Fla.
@@stone5578 I also forgot to mention Clifton, Little Ferry, and East Rutherford New Jersey. Those areas are also becoming heavily latino, especially Dominican. Many old and new blue collar jobs are moving to NJ.
Aka, all Puerto Ricans born on what was once called Boriken are U.S. Americans, just as New Yorkers, are U.S. Americans. We've been Americans for over 100 years, making us multi generational . We are grateful to live in a country of so many opportunities for anyone who is healthy in mind and body to create business and industries for other Americans like us to live the dream of prosperity. Forget those famous people on tv and study about those who made it to the other side so you too can live a happy, fulfilled life. God bless us all. 🇺🇸
I left in 1998 to Florida and go back. See moms and my brothers that still live there but won’t ever move back to city again I lost a lot good friends to the drugs that us government flooded in the different generations like dope and yet people still crying about losing hud house cause they never bought anything and have the same mindset 😢
@@coquireport where they at? I rarely see Ricans anymore but I see like 3x more Dominicans… I remember the good days when Ricans were running the Latino scene in NYC hard
I was born in Puerto Rico with Dominican’s parents never been to New York, since the 1980’s, I’ve moved to Miami then in the 1990’s i moved out west to California following the gold rush and now I’m happy. 😃
Grew up in the South Bronx in the peak of the crack epidemic. I have a chuckle when people complain about the current crime rate.. I made it out in the early 2000's my hatred for the city is soo deep that i refuse to even visit.
Yeah, I can’t tolerate the weather there. My husband and I chose to settle in Southeast Virginia because we enjoy the cooler fall and winter temperatures and the more noticeable seasonal changes compared to Florida.
I remember alot of Puerto Ricans in the south and west Bronx. Mott haven has alot of Mexicans and the west Bronx bordering Washington heights is fully Dominican. Alot fo Puerto Ricans are in Allentown PA, central and south Florida or NJ.
I'm ot Prueto Rican but I'm Black lived in Prueto Rican neighborhoods in Uonkers New York in Westchester County next to New York City's Bourough of The Bronx's Riverdale neighbourhood in the (1990's) to (2001). If I could say one thing that New York is becoming verry expensive especially in the New York Tri State Area especially for me in Westchester County N.Y. . As well as NYC & Long Island Nassau & Suffolk Counties and Connecticut & New Jersey the rental prices go up even food living in New York is priced very high and is unfair. Its supports the multi millionaires & billionaires and the middle class and poor and new immigrants are being priced out. Its bad on the New York area even once poor ares are being rebuilt and gentrification is everywhere. I want to leave to just like the a Puerto Ricans are starting to. I'm familiar with the Orlando Walt Disney-Reedy Creek , Kissimmee ST. Cloud Area as a child visiting Walt Disney World & Epcott Centers as a little boy with my Foster family in the late (1980's). I wouldn't want for me to live in Florida two many hurricanes and flooding down there maybe ist just the New Yorker still in me . But I alays wanted to now move to Las Vegas Metro Area. Its about 5 to 6 hours from my cousin that lives in Ivine California I think. But I wouldn't want to live in the Los Angeles California or even California either. There two many fires & earthquakes and a high cost of living just like New York I heard. But Vegas righ now in some but very careful areas is way cheaper and no income tax cool. I hope I could save up so I try this dream out to be one day a really. Before it becomes high cost of living there too like N.Y. & C.A. is. 😊😊 Thank you the Coqui Report of interesting facts about Pureto Rico and its people very educational.😊❤
The other thing was they have relatives there and they could live temporarily with them until they found work and have money save up and can find there own place and sometimes they would move to other states.
Black American’s have vanished from NY as well. 9/10 you come across a black person in NY they’re most likely Caribbean or African. PR’s and Black Americans dipped a long time ago.
Tampa Bay y Orlando Florida we are the most Pueetorricans residents today and I live by the North of Tampa Bay and most of our neighbors are Pueetorricans Networkers and Chicagoians form Chicago
NYC is a Transitional City, always have been, my neighborhood used to be Italian,now is mostly Dominicas,Mexicans and Muslims, People need to be Home Owners instead of Renters..
@coquireport gee I didn't know that, 😂😂, am referring to those people who walk around covered from head to toes, you didn't see those people in my neighborhood 15 years ago, you missed the larger point tho, NYC is and has always been a Transitional City, I do agree with you that Economics Play a big part tho that's why I said that people Need to become Home Owners instead of being Renters ...
all my family moved to pa or fl and one is in ohio and one is in portrugal of all places. i lived in fl for about 10 years before i came back to ny because of problems. now im set on moving to pr i hate this place its not the same
Puerto Ricans been leaving NYC most went Upstate NY, Buffalo , Rochester etc. It's hard to find a Puerto Rican in NYC most are mixed with Black or something else, and I haven't seen a White Puerto Rican in years! Those are the crazy ones miss those types
I came to NY in 1996, the congestion pricing is going to push me out of NY, speed cameras, MTA bus cameras, red light cameras..... NY is a police state and I feel the government picking on my pocket.... once I retire I'll be GONE.... I'll get a house in the south and another one in PR.......
I was born in and raised on west 107th street in Manhattan . I moved to Upstate NY during the 1980's and have not looked back. Bought a house went to college. So much easier and peaceful living in upstate NY . I still love NYC but in small doses.
Born and Raised in spanish harlem and just moved to CT which also has a large population of Ricans. Much better to own a house then be stuck in an apartment.
I hear Dominicans say they running us out of NY smh.And they say they taking over Puerto Rico.my Puerto Rican people this people hate us,this are the most hipocritical people in other words "Snakes"
The problem with leaving New York particularly Manhattan is that everywhere else pales in comparison, yes New York has changed but that’s life things change.!!
Left in 2021 after being born and raised in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. I've also lived in Far Rockaway, Bushwick, Canarsie, Ridgewood, Park Slope and Glendale. My decision to leave was not an easy one. It felt like I was breaking up with a woman. But it was the right one to do. Things have been changing in NYC little by little but in the last 4 years (since the pandemic), the changes were real extreme and eye opening. First, starting in 2020 the pandemic crippled us and like always NYC is one of the places in the world that feels it the hardest. Then 2021, the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent feelings among people against the police department made the NYPD go on a work stoppage causing the crime rate to go up. LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED! Now lets talk about the cost of living, impossible to buy a home. Moved to Jersey and brought a house that would have cost me in NYC anywhere over a mill and half. Now, with Adams opening up the doors to the migrants, parts of NYC look like how the Bronx used to look back in the 70's and 80's. Gov. Hochul then introduces congestion pricing when everybody is still recovering from the Dems loosing the elections so badly. So everything in NYC is "GIVE ME, GIVE ME" and nothing in return but a bunch of crime and high cost of living. Yeah, it was time to go...
I was fortunet enough to get a real good opportunity in charlotte N.C. in 2014 and made the jump down here and to tell you the truth it was the best decision that was made for me....i go back every chance i get an more and more the city is no longer Appeling...it's sad but that's how it is... you have to do what is best for the work life balance at a certain age....Charlotte is home now....fuck looking for parking....
New York City has changed so much since the past-I should know because I am originally from New York City myself-But times and things,and the quality of life in both NYC and America has changed too-Therefore it doesn't surprise me that Puerto Ricans in New York City have also noticed these changes,and they are making the intelligent moves and maybe the right moves for them,to seek and find cheaper,more affordable costs of living in other parts of the United States-And take advantage of job opportunities that are waiting for them in all these cheaper and more affordable parts of America-I am planning myself to move out from America,because the quality of life here in America has really gone down,and gone down tremendously,and humongously-And I also don't like these native Americans anymore-And I am American myself!!!!!!!!!!!!🤥🤔🤨
I live in NY, come to Florida for a month and a half every time I come, honestly, with all of what is happening in NY, I feel safer in NYC than Florida. I was born in Boriken and would love to go back. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
From 1970 to 71 Puerto Ricans from New York have been moving to Massachusetts Connecticut and Rhode Island but most Puerto Ricans in towards 1971 we're moving back to Puerto Rico that's what Puerto Rico's economy was better
But going back Puerto Rican families have been struggling since the mid-80s rents for going up from $300 a month all the way up to 500 and then 1,000 and 1500 and almost rents are 3,004,000 specially in the old tenement building in Manhattan Brooklyn and Bronx what my family left Brooklyn in 1966 we were paying for a five bedroom apartment in Crown Heights 75 dollars a month we move to Connecticut because in 1966 crime was getting worse in all five boroughs my parents made good money in New York City but we moved up to Connecticut and we made our lives here still visiting back and forth to Brooklyn and Manhattan and the whole New York City that's why we know how things work out there and you can't even get car insurance basic liability their back then believe it or not it's morning 3,000 a year so who the hell can make it in New York City Mexicans that come to New York City they all live in a big apartment that's the only way they can live is Siri the apartment between five families or even more just to pay the rent it's very sad it's going to come a time where most landlords and tenement owners are going to go bankrupt because nobody can pay these rents and there's not enough low-level millionaires that could do it anymore in the near future New York City is going to be a ghost town Reds should not be that expensive in New York City if you live in a tenement building you still have to pay to park your car and a private parking and you still have to pay at least a month for that private parking over $1,000 I repeat myself again how the hell can you do it the government should put a stop to all this chaos with rents and abusive parking rates the hospital system in New York City is really bad you're lucky if you get in there in time so many people gazillions of people in the emergency room and maybe three or four doctors if that this is the way it is and that's the fact

@mermaidlu5125 🗣️ Lady Ain't Nothing Charming Bout Us New Yorkers We Blunt 😂
A major reason why PR’s moved out also is because many 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation PR’s became professionals and purchased their first houses out of the city. That’s what I did and I meet other PR’s in church gatherings, community functions around the upstate area, who had also purchased their first houses.
bingo that's exactly what I just said
True, absolutely true....buy many of us were left behind due to broken homes 🤚🥹
Yup, quite a few are in the Hudson Valley and even further Upstate to the bigger cities/area.
First gens are professionals too.
That's America, The Irish left, The Italians left, Jews left, African Americans are leaving. And now the Puerto Ricans are leaving. Everyone starts in New York and then you leave.
Everyone is moving down to Florida: Italians,Jews , African Americans ,Dominicans and Puertoricans .
@@The1ByTheSea African Americans have been in Florida.
As a Dominican I’m so ready to leave.
This half Rican is actually moving to Brazil of all places, not the usual like FL for i.e.

Like many other groups, Puerto Ricans have advanced economically and are getting the Hell out because this city has become unliveable!!
Advanced economically? 😂😂😂
Most newcomer Puertricans move to Florida .And old time N.E. Puertricans also retire and move to Florida. Florida is closer to Puerto Rico;and its weather is more similar to Puerto Rico's weather .
@@jwill9237 Yes, advanced socially, economically. There are Puerto Rican members of Congress and a Supreme Court Justice. There's a lot of work to be done. But Puerto Ricans like other groups leave NY because they CAN! BTW...I'm not Puerto Rican. I'm Dominican!
@@carlosacta8726 no sir everyone is leaving nyc because of its poor leadership that has led to crime, influx in illegal immigrants, and they can no longer afford to live there. Stop the gaslight and call it what it is BTW I'm rican
To expand a little on what @carlosacta8726 said: The Ley de la Mordaza, also known as Law 53 of 1948. Police could plant a 🇵🇷 stamp-yes, a stamp-in someone's house or car, and by 'discovering' it, the Boricua (from Borikén, the indigenous/True name of the island; b4 Spain called it a rich port but with capitalized letters) would (more often would than could) be sent to jail for 10-years minimum.
Sad But True! I left in 2007 to work & support Puerto Rico, But New York will always be in my heart ❤.
NYC is FUCKING expensive to live. In Chicago many Puerto Rican’s marry Mexican Americans or they moved to the suburbs. Many historic areas that were used to be Rican neighborhoods of Chicago are gentrified. In Chicago Mexicans and Puerto Rican’s moved up shared experiences and cultural heritage. In Chicago it’s common to know, marry, or be related to Latinos that are both Puerto Rican and Mexican. In fact Puerto Rican cuisine has been integrated into Mexican cuisine. It’s a beautiful blend of culture, music, heritage, history we share
I'm Puerto Rican born & raised, but my mom is Mexican and she married my Puerto Rican dad in Chicago. 2 of my dad's siblings also married Mexican women, so 3 Puerto Rican brothers married Mexican women. We have a lot of Mexican & mixed cousins in our family. They all married in Chicago in like the 1970s.
I also have more Puerto Rican family who married Mexicans in Chicago. Like it's amazing how much PRs and MXs mix in Chicago.
It seems like Puerto Ricans & Mexicans get a long better than anywhere in Chicago. I love that.
Thats very interesting. Thx.
Were you born PR or you were born in Chicago? @Seroxm13
I’m Mexican and grew up in the Chicagoland area and Puerto Ricans and Mexicans in Chicago are like two peas in a pod 🫛 no doubt! My padrinos for first communion were Puerto Rican lol.. 🇲🇽 🇵🇷 💪
In NY a lot of Puerto Ricans mix with Dominicans. My aunt married a Dominican man and now 3 of my cousins are Puerto Rican and Dominican.
Quality of life in NYC has dropped with rising crime and crowded subways, parks, stores. High costs of housing and food also triggers departures.
Bcuz of progressive liberal left wing policies of politicians!
You forgot the main reason ilegals immigrants everywhere
@@javierrivera8545 like what??
@javierrivera8545 Mayor Eric Adams is not a progressive liberal. Besides being corrupt, his policies and actions have hurt the city.

I'm Puerto Rican born in Brooklyn raised in New York City till I was 28 , I only new high rent and moved around frequently until I moved to Florida where I purchased My first home where I lived for 13 years raising my children and then buying a much bigger house afterwards my children have known only stability and the comforts of having their own home. This is why Puerto Ricans or anyone else for that matter moves for better opportunities
@@Will-mo5xu Right on the Money 👍
I noticed a migration of 'Ricans leaving NYC beginning in the mid to late 1990s. Two locations were constant. Orlando, FL and Allentown, PA. By the year 2000 you could "feel" the local shift in the spanish speaking nationalities on a visible level as more and more Dominicans, Mexicans, South & Central Americans became the face of spanish-speaking NYC. The Puerto Rican presence is still felt but has obviously changed from one generation to a brand new one who are inserting their own contemporary "vibe" and cultural preferences.
I miss seeing a lot of Puerto Ricans in NYC. I grew up during the 80s and 90s in NYC. It was the best time to be in NYC
Orlando is expensive and lower paying jobs. I am looking to move out of Florida. Florida is more Cubans, Haitian, south American people
When the PRs migrated to my city they brought drugs, dope addicts and boosted the crime rates. Peoples cars and homes were getting broken into. Outdoor furniture was getting stolen out of backyards. Then it started getting reclaimed in the mid to late 90s. Good ol’ gentrification. Then the real estate boom.
I grew up in Brooklyn and the Bronx in the 80s and 90s before leaving NYC for Tampa, FL in the early 2000s. After Covid Florida got crazy expensive. I still have a lot of family in NY, FL and PA
@@robd7934very true!! starting to think CT is the way! to expensive in Florida and the minimum wage is bad
On our Puerto Rican parade many from all fifty states come to celebrate to the parade and returns when the parade its over. Viva Puerto Rico.
I am 3rd generation Nuyorican and i still live in NYC. My grandmother came to NYC in 1947. I have definitely noticed the decline in our numbers from my childhood until now. There were more restaurants and enclaves around when I was young. A few of my relatives have left the city and the state but most of my extended family is still here. Things always change over time, but studies have shown that though we were here in large numbers NYC life for the Puerto Rican diaspora has always been fraught with obstacles and challenges, and Puerto Ricans do better as a group when we live in other places. I myself love NYC. I have lived in other places but NYC will always be my home.
I agree with the sentiments that NY wasn't good for us...we tend to do better out of NY
the NYC your grandma came to in 1947;is not the NYC of today .
@ Nothing anywhere is the same as it was in 1947.
@@DanteVelasquez You would be second generation, not third.
@ First generation are the first people immigrate or migrate, second generation are the first born in the new location, third generation are their children and so on. My grandmother was the first to arrive. My mother was the first born. So I am third generation.

¡Que viva Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
Born in Manhattan, lived in Rl Barrio until my dad was killed when I was 6. A year later, we moved to Kew Gardens, a Jewish neighborhood where I was raised. At 25, I bought my first house in Richmond Hill. By the early 90s I saw the city deteriorate. So I took my wife and two young kids and left to the outskirts of Orlando. I loved it. Kids left their bikes and skates outside. Doors were unlocked. Cars were left with the keys in the ignition. You’d pump your gas and then pay the clerk. Nobody honked their horns. You even paid your groceries with personal checks. I decorated my house every season and I could take my car anywhere and never worry about parking space or traffic. I really thought I had died and gone to heaven. For certain, I’d retire and live here the rest of my life.
Then in beginning in the late 2000’s and beyond, you saw the Newyorkification of Orlando. Gone was the southern hospitality and the innocence of a city. By 2020, the population had exploded and Orlando became New York South.
It’s 2024, and I will retire in 2 yrs, but remaining here is out of the question. Orlando is no longer Disney World coming to life. It’s the brutal reality of overcrowded population in a much smaller place than NYC. My next stop? Kentucky? The Carolinas? Maybe living abroad where I can find that peace I once had as a kid in the Big Apple.
I’m sorry for your loss :(

Old news, As a person who frequently visited NewYork city since the late 80’s I started to notice Puerto Ricans leaving NewYork city back in the late 90’s & in big numbers…..Harlem doesn’t look the same as it did in the 70’s , 80’s & early 90’s when Spanish Harlem was pretty much Puerto Ricans.
Loriain Ohio has about 10,000 Puerto Ricans, In 1946, 100 workers were brought there to supplement the steel industries. They grew from that original 100 and they now make up around 15% or so of the population there.
It's true. I am Puerto Rican living in Ohio in Stow, Ohio just southeast of Cleveland metro area. The Westside Cleveland ,Lorain, Ashtabula have a significant Puerto Rican population.

Born in NYC 1960. Enjoy the heck out of the 70's and early 80s. By 1988 I was sick of the gentrification ( Manhattan only at that point). I left the city for PR in 88', and return to US in 93' where I raised my boys. Now 64, I've lived in Clearwater for the past 13 years. Extremely proud of my NewYorican upbringing, and my Boricua heritage, but frankly I don't miss NYC and PR as they are no longer the city if my youth and the culture I grew up in.
Once integrated into the USA ways of life, Puerto Ricans just moved on. Additionally, NYC has changed so much and not for the a good life... Therefore since about 40 years ago everyone moved to Westchester County or Rockland County and on...
Many move and become more assimilated as the generations pass and feel more American...I've seen the comments some have made on social media...so many don't even speak even a little spanish...hope no matter where there're moving in the U.S they always remember who they are and where they come from...

My family was that 1950's migration to the northeast. The reason for New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Puerto Rican population has decrease, In the more recent years, it isn't about looking for better life really. It's more about family's progressing every new generation. There's fathers and mothers who became police officers. Had kids grow up to become federal agents. Parents who work for the local utility companies. Had their children becoming Engineers. And etc. The limitations of the earlier generations no longer exist. Also those North East's factory jobs of 1940's to 1980's are long gone.
Well, that’s simple is because we realize how cold it was. Well, that’s my reason. I find Florida much more a better contrast with a warm climate. But at the same time it blends in with the states. You can say I have half-and-half here.
I've been raised in the Bronx NY almost all my life as 1st generation Boricua & returned back after living in other places for many years and realized back in 2018 - 2019 that it doesn't match my core values in terms of a place to raise a family so I left within 6 months. Above it all, I am blessed to have lived close to Yankee Stadium and enjoyed the precious long term friendships that I made out there. 🇵🇷
I agree, Many Puerto Ricans from the 3rd generation and up are tired of NYC due to high crime, high rent and high cost of living and the salaries are stagnant.
Looking for a better life period!!!

Well all i can say that western ny is a great place to live and also has a large puerto rican population which is doing well.
Now Puerto Rican is the 2nd largest Hispanics in the United States after the the Mexican and also many Puerto Rican move from New York City to Upstate New York.
I moved to upstate and I could tell you that lots of NYC people are moving up here. NYC is too expensive

Puerto Ricans are the second largest Hispanic group. That won't change but Dominicans are not as large they just concentrate in NYC. Born in NYC and yes I want to leave.

You're correct! Here in NYC Dominicans took over the Upper West Side and the Bronx. They are marrying Puerto Ricans. You really don't see many full Puerto Ricans anymore. They are mixing with Dominicans and their offspring claim to be Dominicans, especially if they look like Caucasians. It becomes a racial thing!

I think it's most likely due to the rising cost of living in New york city coupled with the fact that many former Puerto rican areas of new york are being heavily and quickly gentrified by outsiders and developers. This combination is the main reason. There are more reasons im sure.
You got it there’s not much Puerto Ricans in Brooklyn now it’s other Latinos taking over . Well they can have the old dirty run down expensive apartments because we been there and done that . Time for something better
Yes it true Puerto Ricans are no longer the largest group, but nyc will always be Puerto Ricans second home. We paved the path for all other Latinos groups.

Even I myself am thinking of moving to Florida or Pennsylvania where there is more peace and quiet and everything is more cheaper.
It’s also more chill for Latin Americans in general. Miami, for example, is mainly Cuban, but there’s all other Hispanics (except not many Mexicans), so I’ve seen an influx of Dominicans which makes sense given the Latino Caribbean cultural elements down here.
Definitely PA I live 20 minutes from philly in the suburbs out of nowhere alot domincans started moving here, back then it mostly mexicans and Central Americans
Other latinos like Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans, and Central Americans, are finding more and new opportunities in other parts of the US like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia (mainly Atlanta area), and Ohio. Most Puerto Ricans are moving to Orlando, Fla.
dont forget Connecticut ,a lot of us out there too . and we in cali also
@@stone5578 I also forgot to mention Clifton, Little Ferry, and East Rutherford New Jersey. Those areas are also becoming heavily latino, especially Dominican. Many old and new blue collar jobs are moving to NJ.
@ so other places too . Not to mention people move upstate New York too

Aka, all Puerto Ricans born on what was once called Boriken are U.S. Americans, just as New Yorkers, are U.S. Americans. We've been Americans for over 100 years, making us multi generational . We are grateful to live in a country of so many opportunities for anyone who is healthy in mind and body to create business and industries for other Americans like us to live the dream of prosperity. Forget those famous people on tv and study about those who made it to the other side so you too can live a happy, fulfilled life. God bless us all. 🇺🇸
I'm a "Nuyorican," who left N.Y.C. in 1976, and I've never looked back...I'm an American!!!
Born and raised in LES.. NYC..Been through it all... Jetted to the mountains 🇵🇷 🌴
I left in 1998 to Florida and go back. See moms and my brothers that still live there but won’t ever move back to city again I lost a lot good friends to the drugs that us government flooded in the different generations like dope and yet people still crying about losing hud house cause they never bought anything and have the same mindset 😢
New York isn’t the same anymore . I’m Puerto Rican grew up in New York and it’s not it anymore
Libturded ran city went down the drain
Im a native New Yorker and I miss Puerto Ricans so much especially the ones who could speak Spanish. It all seems to be a memory in the past now
@mon3ylounge New York still has over a half a million Puerto Ricans in the city..
@@coquireport where they at? I rarely see Ricans anymore but I see like 3x more Dominicans… I remember the good days when Ricans were running the Latino scene in NYC hard
@@mon3yloungePuerto Ricans are spread out pockets here and there!
But nationwide lots of us!😂
I was born in Puerto Rico with Dominican’s parents never been to New York, since the 1980’s, I’ve moved to Miami then in the 1990’s i moved out west to California following the gold rush and now I’m happy. 😃
Grew up in the South Bronx in the peak of the crack epidemic. I have a chuckle when people complain about the current crime rate.. I made it out in the early 2000's my hatred for the city is soo deep that i refuse to even visit.
@mangu768 That crack epidemic was brutal!
Who in thier right mind would want to live in NYC ?
Then leave alot of room in Puerto Rico
Puerto Ricans are relocating to either Pennsylvania or Florida.
For some people the whether is a factor to consider!
Exactly. I asked my dad too.
Yeah, I can’t tolerate the weather there. My husband and I chose to settle in Southeast Virginia because we enjoy the cooler fall and winter temperatures and the more noticeable seasonal changes compared to Florida.
I remember alot of Puerto Ricans in the south and west Bronx. Mott haven has alot of Mexicans and the west Bronx bordering Washington heights is fully Dominican. Alot fo Puerto Ricans are in Allentown PA, central and south Florida or NJ.
Bro I stopped at a Sam’s Club in Orlando and the whole dang store was like a Puerto Rican island
I'm ot Prueto Rican but I'm Black lived in Prueto Rican neighborhoods in Uonkers New York in Westchester County next to New York City's Bourough of The Bronx's Riverdale neighbourhood in the (1990's) to (2001). If I could say one thing that New York is becoming verry expensive especially in the New York Tri State Area especially for me in Westchester County N.Y. . As well as NYC & Long Island Nassau & Suffolk Counties and Connecticut & New Jersey the rental prices go up even food living in New York is priced very high and is unfair. Its supports the multi millionaires & billionaires and the middle class and poor and new immigrants are being priced out. Its bad on the New York area even once poor ares are being rebuilt and gentrification is everywhere. I want to leave to just like the a Puerto Ricans are starting to. I'm familiar with the Orlando Walt Disney-Reedy Creek , Kissimmee ST. Cloud Area as a child visiting Walt Disney World & Epcott Centers as a little boy with my Foster family in the late (1980's). I wouldn't want for me to live in Florida two many hurricanes and flooding down there maybe ist just the New Yorker still in me . But I alays wanted to now move to Las Vegas Metro Area. Its about 5 to 6 hours from my cousin that lives in Ivine California I think. But I wouldn't want to live in the Los Angeles California or even California either. There two many fires & earthquakes and a high cost of living just like New York I heard. But Vegas righ now in some but very careful areas is way cheaper and no income tax cool. I hope I could save up so I try this dream out to be one day a really. Before it becomes high cost of living there too like N.Y. & C.A. is. 😊😊 Thank you the Coqui Report of interesting facts about Pureto Rico and its people very educational.😊❤
How did New Jersey get their population of Puerto Rican🇵🇷
I moved to NJ in 2022
Many 🇵🇷 s have fled to Pennsylvania
A+ video.
A lot of us moved on up. Which is a good thing 👍🏽
A college professor ask me why they when to NY and I didn’t know how to answer.
Ny always been a popular city and we liked it and most likely because by that time it's where everyone where going.
The other thing was they have relatives there and they could live temporarily with them until they found work and have money save up and can find there own place and sometimes they would move to other states.
Black American’s have vanished from NY as well. 9/10 you come across a black person in NY they’re most likely Caribbean or African. PR’s and Black Americans dipped a long time ago.
So will Caribbean n Africans. Puerto Ricans should of follow Dominicans instead of blk Americans. Look what happen. Their community is destroyed
Puerto Ricans are moving out of NYC because Giuliani said no more welfare for single Puerto Rican single moms...
You are special. Do you wear a helmet for when you bump your head???
@OrlandoJChilis Well, now we know why your family moved..
@@coquireport 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well poor white and black women who surpass by far PRicans, and are the highest number of welfare recipients.🤪
Tampa Bay y Orlando Florida we are the most Pueetorricans residents today and I live by the North of Tampa Bay and most of our neighbors are Pueetorricans Networkers and Chicagoians form Chicago
NYC is a Transitional City, always have been, my neighborhood used to be Italian,now is mostly Dominicas,Mexicans and Muslims, People need to be Home Owners instead of Renters..
@PEPLUVER1 Muslims is not a nationaility..
@coquireport gee I didn't know that, 😂😂, am referring to those people who walk around covered from head to toes, you didn't see those people in my neighborhood 15 years ago, you missed the larger point tho, NYC is and has always been a Transitional City, I do agree with you that Economics Play a big part tho that's why I said that people Need to become Home Owners instead of being Renters ...
@@PEPLUVER1probably people from Bangladesh
@@JerseyRican1977 yeah, Bangladesh, Yemen, Syria those places, this other guy wants to be politically correct, 😆😆
all my family moved to pa or fl and one is in ohio and one is in portrugal of all places. i lived in fl for about 10 years before i came back to ny because of problems. now im set on moving to pr i hate this place its not the same
Puerto Ricans been leaving NYC most went Upstate NY, Buffalo , Rochester etc. It's hard to find a Puerto Rican in NYC most are mixed with Black or something else, and I haven't seen a White Puerto Rican in years! Those are the crazy ones miss those types
New York 21 years, then New Jersey for 38 years, Now Florida for the last 90 days. I live in lakeland,FL.
I came to NY in 1996, the congestion pricing is going to push me out of NY, speed cameras, MTA bus cameras, red light cameras..... NY is a police state and I feel the government picking on my pocket.... once I retire I'll be GONE.... I'll get a house in the south and another one in PR.......
I was born in and raised on west 107th street in Manhattan . I moved to Upstate NY during the 1980's and have not looked back. Bought a house went to college. So much easier and peaceful living in upstate NY . I still love NYC but in small doses.
Born and Raised in spanish harlem and just moved to CT which also has a large population of Ricans. Much better to own a house then be stuck in an apartment.
Moved upstate 4 years ago. Purchased a house during the pandemic. The city is trashed the Domi can keep that hot mess.
@bxneco3949 Yeah..I think the exodus will continue in the years to come..
As a Puertorriqueña I don't consider necessary to say such thing about the Dominican population. Not nice😢.
@@Anonymousperson0904 She speaks the truth.
I hear Dominicans say they running us out of NY smh.And they say they taking over Puerto Rico.my Puerto Rican people this people hate us,this are the most hipocritical people in other words "Snakes"
ur sour grapes wherever you go.
The problem with leaving New York particularly Manhattan is that everywhere else pales in comparison, yes New York has changed but that’s life things change.!!
My mom left for upstate ny.
Im dominican i left to mexico and have been noticing everyone that came took the opportunity and is now leaving.
Connecticut?
Left in 2021 after being born and raised in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. I've also lived in Far Rockaway, Bushwick, Canarsie, Ridgewood, Park Slope and Glendale. My decision to leave was not an easy one. It felt like I was breaking up with a woman. But it was the right one to do. Things have been changing in NYC little by little but in the last 4 years (since the pandemic), the changes were real extreme and eye opening. First, starting in 2020 the pandemic crippled us and like always NYC is one of the places in the world that feels it the hardest. Then 2021, the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent feelings among people against the police department made the NYPD go on a work stoppage causing the crime rate to go up. LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED! Now lets talk about the cost of living, impossible to buy a home. Moved to Jersey and brought a house that would have cost me in NYC anywhere over a mill and half. Now, with Adams opening up the doors to the migrants, parts of NYC look like how the Bronx used to look back in the 70's and 80's. Gov. Hochul then introduces congestion pricing when everybody is still recovering from the Dems loosing the elections so badly. So everything in NYC is "GIVE ME, GIVE ME" and nothing in return but a bunch of crime and high cost of living. Yeah, it was time to go...
Alot of my family and puerto ricans also move to upstate New York or spring field ma.
I was fortunet enough to get a real good opportunity in charlotte N.C. in 2014 and made the jump down here and to tell you the truth it was the best decision that was made for me....i go back every chance i get an more and more the city is no longer Appeling...it's sad but that's how it is... you have to do what is best for the work life balance at a certain age....Charlotte is home now....fuck looking for parking....
Puerto Ricans have matured,they realize so called barrio life leads no where.You have to do your own thing for you and your family.
New York City has changed so much since the past-I should know because I am originally from New York City myself-But times and things,and the quality of life in both NYC and America has changed too-Therefore it doesn't surprise me that Puerto Ricans in New York City have also noticed these changes,and they are making the intelligent moves and maybe the right moves for them,to seek and find cheaper,more affordable costs of living in other parts of the United States-And take advantage of job opportunities that are waiting for them in all these cheaper and more affordable parts of America-I am planning myself to move out from America,because the quality of life here in America has really gone down,and gone down tremendously,and humongously-And I also don't like these native Americans anymore-And I am American myself!!!!!!!!!!!!🤥🤔🤨
I live in NY, come to Florida for a month and a half every time I come, honestly, with all of what is happening in NY, I feel safer in NYC than Florida. I was born in Boriken and would love to go back. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I'm 🇺🇲🇵🇷 Born in Florida never had a desire to Go To NY 😁
You're not missing nothing
If you move to the hoods😖but the nice neighborhoods🫠but too expensive to buy and keep up! Taxes😖😖😖😖😖
From 1970 to 71 Puerto Ricans from New York have been moving to Massachusetts Connecticut and Rhode Island but most Puerto Ricans in towards 1971 we're moving back to Puerto Rico that's what Puerto Rico's economy was better
But going back Puerto Rican families have been struggling since the mid-80s rents for going up from $300 a month all the way up to 500 and then 1,000 and 1500 and almost rents are 3,004,000 specially in the old tenement building in Manhattan Brooklyn and Bronx what my family left Brooklyn in 1966 we were paying for a five bedroom apartment in Crown Heights 75 dollars a month we move to Connecticut because in 1966 crime was getting worse in all five boroughs my parents made good money in New York City but we moved up to Connecticut and we made our lives here still visiting back and forth to Brooklyn and Manhattan and the whole New York City that's why we know how things work out there and you can't even get car insurance basic liability their back then believe it or not it's morning 3,000 a year so who the hell can make it in New York City Mexicans that come to New York City they all live in a big apartment that's the only way they can live is Siri the apartment between five families or even more just to pay the rent it's very sad it's going to come a time where most landlords and tenement owners are going to go bankrupt because nobody can pay these rents and there's not enough low-level millionaires that could do it anymore in the near future New York City is going to be a ghost town Reds should not be that expensive in New York City if you live in a tenement building you still have to pay to park your car and a private parking and you still have to pay at least a month for that private parking over $1,000 I repeat myself again how the hell can you do it the government should put a stop to all this chaos with rents and abusive parking rates the hospital system in New York City is really bad you're lucky if you get in there in time so many people gazillions of people in the emergency room and maybe three or four doctors if that this is the way it is and that's the fact
When will we see Florican culture?
